This stir fry baby bok choy shitake mushrooms peppers is an easy everyday vegetable dish that I make almost every week.

Bok choy is a Chinese cruciferous vegetable. As a cruciferous vegetable, not only does bok choy contain potent phytochemicals that fight cancer, but it is also high in vitamin C, calcium and vitamin A.

Bok choy literally means “white vegetable,” and refers to a number of different varieties including napa cabbage, baby bok choy or Shanghai bok choy, and choy sum. No matter which bok choy you come across, you will find the taste to be milder and sweeter than most of its cousins such as broccoli, brussels sprouts or kale. I think of bok choy as an easy entry to cruciferous vegetables.

I’ve made a few minor changes to the recipe over the years, but this method of stir-frying vegetables is so versatile, that I wouldn’t even really call it a recipe. Sometimes I use garlic instead of ginger, and sometimes I season the vegetables with oyster sauce instead of salt. Although baby bok choy is one of my favorite Chinese vegetables, there are actually lots of different varieties of bok choy that I also buy.

Beautiful and simple. Baby bok choy is one of my favorites as well and I’m happy to see a lot of it around this time of the year.I look forward to seeing what you do with your Saveur Board! What a fun idea.
